The barracks area of Summer Town now has a first-class cavalry battalion, a second-class infantry battalion, and a third-class bow battalion. In addition, there are buildings such as a second-level arsenal and a second-level school field.

As a vassal village, Xiaozhu Village transferred a hundred village warriors to train them into professional soldiers.

The third-level archer battalion can recruit three types of soldiers, archers, elite archers, and Xuzhou archers.

Among them, the Xuzhou archers were third-order soldiers.

In the thirteen states of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the names of the third-order troops have the prefix of each state, not only the names are different, but also the third-order troops in each state are strong and weak.

For example, the Youzhou cavalry is more powerful than the Xuzhou cavalry, and the Xuzhou infantry is stronger than the Youzhou infantry.

Chutian compares the cost performance of the three arms.

[Name]: Archer/Elite Archer

[Grade]: 1st Order/2nd Order

[Attack]: 6/10 [Defense]: 3/4 [Speed]: 5/5

[Skills]: Low-level hits, low-level armor piercing, low-level arrow rain/intermediate hits, low-level armor piercing, low-level arrow rain

[Yulu]: 1.25 taels of silver / 2 taels of silver

The salaries of the archers were even higher than those of the average infantryman.

Chu Tian was more concerned about the third-order troops, the Xuzhou archers.

[Name]: Xuzhou archer

[Grade]: Third Order

[Attack]: 13 [Defense]: 5 [Speed]: 6

[Skills]: Intermediate hits, intermediate armor piercing, intermediate arrow rain

[Trait]: Wind Horn Bow Roar (D-rank trait, when the archer hero is the main general, attack +2, defense +1)

[Yu Lu]: 3 taels of silver

[Required]: Bow and arrow

[Additional Equipment]: Sword, Leather Armor, Light Armor

[Training period]: 30 days

When the village labor was insufficient, Chu Tian tended to choose high-level troops. Although the high-ranking class is paid more per month, it only accounts for one labor force like the low-ranking class.

The training time of Xuzhou archers seems to be a bit long, and it takes 30 days to train the first batch of Xuzhou archers.

Chutian arranged for 50 villagers to go to the third-level archery battalion for training, and directly transferred to Xuzhou archers.

Chu Tian, who was already heavily in debt, didn't mind continuing to explode troops, as long as he used the army to annex the surrounding villages and feed the war with war, he could relieve the financial pressure. So he trained another 50 elite light infantry. The training cycle of elite light infantry is half a month.

In this way, a month later, there were 30 light cavalry, 50 Xuzhou archers, and 120 elite light infantry.

The soldiers in Xia Village are all regular soldiers. The level of special units is generally higher than that of the third order, and there are also special classes that are not very high in rank, such as the Yellow Turban Commander or the Peasant Army.

Owning Mulan can unlock the sixth-order special cavalry, the Iron Eagle Scout, but unfortunately the precondition is to have a sixth-order cavalry battalion in the territory. In the entire Xuzhou, only Xiapi may have a sixth-order cavalry battalion.

"It's about to be August now, if you wait until the Xuzhou archers finish training to exterminate the water bandits, I don't know if it's too late?"

Chu Tian knew that he had to have as many four vassal villages as possible before planting in October, as well as the threat of bandits and water bandits around the villages and towns. The seeds will be sown in October, and the Epic Campaign event may start after October.

The first epic battle in the Eastern Han Dynasty was the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which was the most familiar to the Chinese people, when the various lords would be teleported to the battlefield where the Eastern Han officers and soldiers exterminated the Yellow Turban Army, and directly faced Zhang Jiao and other heroes of the Yellow Turban camp and the dense Yellow Turban soldiers.

There may also be joint battles between different civilization zones. Even the closed beta players in the guild don't know what the crossover battles in each civilization zone are, so they can only speculate based on common sense.

For example, there may be crusade battles in the Holy See and Egyptian regions (Mamluk Dynasty) and the Great Food District (Arab Empire). There were campaigns against Goguryeo in the Sui and Tang dynasties in the Eastern Han and Goryeo regions, and there was the Wanli Korean War between the Eastern Han and Dongying regions.

Chu Tian thought that there was still a gold-level recruitment order in his hand that was not used, which was the reward obtained by upgrading to the town. The Gold-level Recruitment Order can recruit gold-level ordinary heroes, and there is a very small chance of recruiting historical heroes.

Will it attract another historical hero?

Chu Tian used a golden recruitment order to recruit Mulan last time, and he couldn't help but look forward to it at this time.

"Ding! Consume a gold-level recruitment order, congratulations on obtaining the allegiance of gold-level military commander Liu Sandao. ””

An ordinary military general holding a broadsword appears.

As soon as Chu Tian heard the name "Liu Sandao", he knew that it was not a historical hero, it was obviously a hero randomly generated by the system.

Theoretically, using a gold-level recruitment order is less likely to appear than winning the lottery. There may be hundreds or thousands of lords in the Eastern Han Dynasty who have received silver and gold recruitment orders, but only a handful of historical heroes have appeared through recruitment orders.

[Name]: Liu Sandao

[Talent]: Gold level (ordinary archer general)

[Level]: 40

[Experience]: 0/100000

[Identity]: Retired military candidate of the Eastern Han Dynasty

[Loyalty]: 75

[Commander]: 51 (maximum 61)

[Brawn]: 55 (capped at 65)

[Intelligence]: 47 (capped at 57)

[Politics]: 30 (maximum 40)

[Charm]: 62

[Equipment]: Refined Iron Bow (Silver-level weapon, attack +3, very small chance of causing armor breaking), Refined Leather Armor (silver-level armor, defense +3)

[Trait]: Soul of the Han Army: Small (C-level trait, when commanding the Eastern Han Dynasty, all attributes +1)

When Chu Tian saw Liu Sandao's attributes, he couldn't help but move.

Although it is an ordinary hero, its characteristics are far inferior to that of special heroes, but such attributes are quite good in the early stage. The force of 55 can go sideways in the early stage, and after the full level, the unified martial arts double 60+, which is also useful in the later stage. There is also a C-level trait [Soul of the Han Army, Small], which can be regarded as a practical trait with any class in the Eastern Han Dynasty that can increase all attributes a little.

Just let Liu Sandao command a team of Xuzhou archers.

With one more powerful general, Chu Tian considered conquering the surrounding third-level villages.

He found Mulan, who was the general of the cavalry department and commanded one of the few thirty light cavalry in Xia Village.

Hua Mulan came to the lord's mansion with a Han knife hanging from her waist: "What does the lord command?" ”

"You lead a team of cavalry to explore the villages within a radius of forty miles, paying special attention to the location of the third-level villages."

"Yes."

A small group of light cavalry, led by Mulan, left Xia Town, looking for a target to attack.

Chu Tian flipped through Mulan's attributes again, Mulan has reached level 36, and is currently 75 commanders, 84 in force, and 78 in intelligence, so she should be able to run rampant near Xia Town.

Mulan has been training light cavalry lately, and the average level of light cavalry in Xia Town is level 30.

Wu Shang and Zhao Qi trained elite infantry and Xiang Yong respectively. The average level of elite infantry is 25, and the average level of village warriors is 17.

The average level of a unit is equivalent to the elite level.

The so-called "raising troops for a thousand days" and using them for a while refers to the importance of training troops in peacetime.

The efficiency of military training is related to the commander-in-chief of military generals.

It takes a lot of time to grow from a recruit to a veteran, and high-ranking military generals such as Han Xin, Wu Qi, Li Jing, and Qi Jiguang have an advantage in military training.

In addition to training, you can gain more experience by going through war and become a veteran of a hundred battles.

"Be the first to conquer the nearby villages, then exterminate the water bandits."

Chu Tian only waited for Mulan to come back from reconnaissance, and then sent troops to turn the surrounding third-level villages into vassals.

Elder Li hurriedly came to Chu Tian at this time, and said nervously: "Elder Town, there is a miner from our town, and he said that there is a nearby village that has discovered gold mines......
